I am switching to Hillary.

[Hoppy]

I was for Bernie. Then I heard Hillary at the debate... the way she took on the Wall Street Banksters and their behaviors that led to the crash of 2008.

She told them, straight up. "CUT IT OUT!"

That's exactly the kind of strong president we need. Someone who will stand up to Putin when he launches air strikes against Syria.

Yo, Putin, "CUT IT OUT !" Guaranteed to work.



Or if the Chinese decide to shell or invade Formosa.

Chairman Mao, "CUT IT OUT !" You just watch Mao crawl back under his rock.


That's the kind of action we need from a president.

[elleng]

1. SAYING 'cut it out' is NOT action.

[SusanaMontana41]

63. I think that was the point.

Total sarcasm.

[elleng]

64. Missed the sarcasm entirely.

Guess I'm too serious these days.

[SusanaMontana41]

66. We've all done it.

I'll bet you're laughing about it now.

[ashling]

83. Cut it out ... Mao ...

[Le Taz Hot]

11. Did Bernie spit on someone?

[tularetom]

16. What the hell does that even mean?

Is it supposed to be some sort of cute jab at Sanders?

[roguevalley]

17. you mistake the man who saved hillary from being questioned further

by debate moderators about emails with the chump follower of Trump. What a sad comment you made about Bernie Sanders. Sad, sad, sad.

[Le Taz Hot]

20. What happened with the Trump follower?

I'm completely missing the reference.

[aidbo]

31. .

[Le Taz Hot]

33. Thanks for filling me in.

(I think the other poster has me on Ignore -- not an unusual occurrence.) This makes the original comment even more bizarre. Weird. And WE'RE the haters?

[aidbo]

36. You're welcome. I'm not sure the original comment had anything to do with the Trump rally tho.

I try to think the best of people until they prove me wrong.

[awoke_in_2003]

81. Anyone who has you on ignore

is a f'ing idiot

[beam me up scottie]

25. Yeah that Bernie, what a tyrant:

[beam me up scottie]

3. LOL!

[BeanMusical]

46. Lol! I guess that my sarcasmometer isn't too rusty.

Can you pass the butter, please?

[beam me up scottie]

47. Sure!

[BeanMusical]

49. Thank you!

[Fawke Em]

4. LOL.

You made me laugh... hard.

CUT THAT OUT!!!

[Duckfan]

51. Absolutely Right.

Just tell them they ain't going to get any desert if they don't stop the stupid crap.
And they'll have to go to sit in a corner for an hour to think about their bad behavior.

[SusanaMontana41]

65. Thread win! eom

[delrem]

6. Because Hillary said "cut it out" to Goldman Sachs and wall street,

you decided that she's the best for fighting their influence?

Really?

Wow. Now I've seen it all.

[Art_from_Ark]

45. I believe that post was written tongue-in-cheek

a la Third Way Manny

[delrem]

48. ahhhh!

I write posts like that too, sometimes. But I ain't no Third Way Manny and can never be so I'm trying to wean myself from the practice.

[SusanaMontana41]

61. That's how I read it too.

Total sarcasm.

[delrem]

68. I can't for the life of me think of how I could have read it straight,

so I think my neighbor might have slipped me some LSD, or something.

[SusanaMontana41]

85. I've done the same thing!

Enjoy the yuks!

[reformist2]

7. She responded to Wall Street CRIMES, as if they were kids stealing from a cookie jar!

[tularetom]

8. Well, it worked, right?

They DID cut it out, didn't they?

Didn't they? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?



BTW: I doubt if Chairman Mao is going to be crawling back behind any rocks for awhile. The man is muerto.

[awoke_in_2003]

82. Well

Maybe he decided to heed Clinton's warning

[cpompilo]

9. Plus she spoke with great authority:"I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York"

The truth shall set us free.

[Kalidurga]

10. Ah now that other post makes more sense.

Sounds legit now.

[BootinUp]

12. I knew it sarcasm....lol.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. I'm shocked (and a little dismayed)

that so many people took this seriously.

[tularetom]

23. I know, right?

I was gonna tell him to include the thing in my initial reply but then I thought no, it would just ruin the artistic perfection of his OP. He played it perfectly.

[Hoppy]

77. I don't use the sarcasm emoticon.

As a result, I have had several of my posts juried. Most jury voter got it and allowed the posts to stay but a couple were banned.

Unlike juries in my state, the D.U. juries don't get paid for their service so I guess, you get what you pay for.



(Yes this post is sarcasm.)

[99th_Monkey]

30. Well, these daze it's often difficult to tell the Onion from the NYTimes.

So I'm not surprised some took the bait.

[Hoppy]

75. I'm not shocked.

[cwydro]

79. I think it's hilarious actually.

DUers can be had.

A few months back someone posted that Nancy Reagan was supporting Hillary, and I laughed my arse off at how many took it to be a serious post.

[Lordquinton]

13. Well played

[thesquanderer]

18. The sad thing is, Republicans actually believe this kind of thing.

Some of them really seem to think that the cold war ended basically because Reagan said, "Tear down this wall!"

[m-lekktor]

19. LOL!!nt

[redstateblues]

21. A Bernie temper tantrum

Will be much more effective!

[aidbo]

22. Oh come on now! Hoppy that is just childish! Why don't you just..

..cut it out.

[winter is coming]

24. I don't understand why people think she's hawkish.

After all, she restrained herself to "Cut it out!" when she so easily could have gone nuclear with "I'm gonna tell!"

[Kalidurga]

69. 1000 Recs

[Miigwech]

26. We love Bernie.....

but he can never win the White House ...... sorry for the reality check. Hillary is much more than the quote "cut it out" .... every person grounded in reality knows that. On the one hand she is accused of being a hawk, then again, she is accused of being a cavalier no nothing about the world. Sorry, ain't buying it.

[BeanMusical]

52. "Hillary is much more than the quote "cut it out"

Well, I agree. Her "I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York" is much closer to who she really is than "cut it out".

[DisgustipatedinCA]

27. Can she still use strong language like that when she isn't The Senator from Wall Street anymore?

Besides, I think she said she "basically" told them to cut it out. What does a career politician mean when they modify a phrase with "basically"?

[frylock]

42. Like, you know..

basically.

[marym625]

28. That was, by far, the most telling and honest answer she gave.

If it weren't so incredibly horrible, it would be funny.

[Thinkingabout]

29. I perfer "Shut Up".

[C Moon]

32. That was so funny. I thought you were serious, then I recalled that moment of the debate.

[DaveT]

34. I post a lot of satire on the internet

but I have made peace with the old show business adage, "Satire is what closes out of town."

I never let that stop me, and I hope you don't quit sending up silly shit like "cut it out" again.

I laughed when I heard her say that. I laughed again at your post. Cheers, Hoppy.

[iamthe99]

35. Look at that smug look she gives Mr Sanders

How can anyone support this condescending untruthful person over Senator Sanders?

[catnhatnh]

38. If she were to become the candidate...

does she think when she debates a Republican he's gonna yell at the moderator "Were God Damned tired of talking about the Secretary's Bosnian sniper!"?

[iamthe99]

43. Ha Ha

I don't think so




On a serious note
It sucks and I will have to wrestle with my conscience to vote for her if she wins the nomination
but what other choice is there.

The only way I would sit out this election is if she gets dirty with Senator Sanders like she did with President Obama.

In my mind I still think she has racist feelings towards President Obama

[reformist2]

76. Why can't you see, that's a prime example of Hillary winning the debate!! She won! She did!

And I'm going to keep saying it until you agree!!!

[Quixote1818]

37. But, but, but Bernie stumbled on guns, who cares about Wall Street?

Haven't you been listening to the pundits? Bernie being for gun control isn't enough! He has to be as tough on guns as Hillary for Democrats to want to vote for him. Neutering the owners of the country is certainly not what I care about.

[Laffy Kat]

39. I took the OP to be sarcastic and in support of Bernie?

Maybe I'm missing something here.

[PoliticAverse]

56. Yes it was clearly (to most people I assume) sarcasm. n/t

[frylock]

40. Don't make me turn this car around!

[Half-Century Man]

41. Her stern words to the financial elite carried all the gravitas

Of all the money they ever gave her.

She swung a million(+) dollar hammer,

[ibegurpard]

44. No shit!

She was masterful! It was a stunning triumph!

[Lorien]

50. And wow, did they ever listen!

Oh, wait...

[DrBulldog]

53. When she shouted "Cut it out!" I burst out laughing ...

... so prissy, so sissy. Reminds me of Obama. Also reminds me of many comedy skit lines of the past . . .

[Bernblu]

54. Telling the Banksters to "Cut it out" is like telling a piranha to not bite!

[lovemydog]

55. Chairman Mao died

in 1976.

[PoliticAverse]

58. That was added at the end I assume to help people get that it was all sarcastic. n/t

[aidbo]

67. Sarcasm died in 1994.

[Art_from_Ark]

87. You sure about that?

I have it from a reliable source that sarcasm died 11 years after that

[Aerows]

57. Earlier today, a post stated

seriously that she would "Reign in Wall Street"

I helpfully responded that reign = rule, rein = gain and keep control of an entity.

[Kalidurga]

70. "Reign in Wall Street"

that sounds accurate.

[mhatrw]

59. CUT iT OUT!

That's our future commander and chief you are talking about!

[Ken Burch]

60. I see what you did there.

[RoccoR5955]

62. CUT IT OUT!

You are making me laugh too hard!

[azurnoir]

71. WWHD? CUT IT OUT

[Vinca]

72. Isn't there also an orangutan running that says that? LOL.

[Major Hogwash]

73. I am a big Jack Benny fan, by the way.

If she would have put her hand to her cheek and turned her head to look in the same direction as the cheek she had her hand on, I would have fallen out of my chair laughing.

It would have been classic.

As it was, it was just lame.

[uponit7771]

74. Bernie told the gun manufacturers the same thing and the NRA endorsed his first election dispite

... their current politically motivated low ratings

[AlbertCat]

84. NRA endorsed his first election

Y'mean the election back in 1990....'91? Before 9/11? Before Dubya? Before that black man was elected to the White House? Before the NRA became the fear mongering, gun manufacturers' lobbyists?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

78. Mrs. Wall Street

Good luck

[NuclearDem]

80. Qaddafi sure seemed to cut it out.

The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

[JTShroyer]

86. HAHAHA -- PURRRRFECT!!

I'm burned out.
